oh, rejoice! The Portland Farmers Market is back!

and thanks to the press releases (who doesn’t read press releases about their local farmers markets?), I knew it was going to be bigger & better than ever – doubling in size in the PSU Park Blocks.

I was literally sitting at my desk this morning, daydreaming about the vegetables I have at home.

For such an early start to the season, I was constantly thrilled, booth by booth, to see such variety! I’ve grown accustomed to walking home from the first market of the season with a bundle of raab or rapini or two, and I did, with a bunch more. I started my farmar adventure with a patiently delivered, cup of single origin Burundi Stumptown from Cafe Velo, nibbled on a trail mix bar from BlackSheep Bakery, explored the new routes, marked purchases for round #2, and ran into happy friends.

Notables:

The variety!

The hipster mustaches! more than ever! with babies! (I know! It’s Portland, but there were more than usual)!

brussel sprout raab? never seen so many different raabs than at that farmar!! but question: do you know what Asian Raab is? the people across the way from the mushrooom people had that and i didn’t end up asking what that meant.

also, did you know the answer to my question about the vegan cheese pie at Via Chicago? (haven’t checked PPK yet…)
